JAKARTA - In an effort to encourage downstreaming to optimize digital potential, the government through the Ministry of Communication and Information (Kominfo) continues to accelerate digital transformation from upstream to downstream.

At the upstream level, the Secretary General of the Ministry of Communication and Informatics Mira Tayyiba stated that Kominfo continues to accelerate the equitable development of digital infrastructure.

Meanwhile, downstream, a series of programs to expand digital technology adoption are also carried out simultaneously so that the distribution of digital infrastructure is accompanied by the use of the community.

"In order for connectivity to be easily accessible to the public evenly, Kominfo provides internet access, fiber optic cables, microwaves to the launch of the Republic of Indonesia Satellite or SATRIA-1," Mira said in a press release.

In addition, Kominfo also carried out a series of programs to expand the adoption of digital technology such as facilitation and assistance to the community and MSMEs to adopt digital technology.

Because according to him, connection to the internet network alone is not enough to support the acceleration of digital transformation in Indonesia. Therefore, the Ministry of Communication and Informatics is also increasing people's digital skills.

People must also have adequate digital literacy and skills. Moreover, based on research from the World Bank, Indonesia needs at least 9 million digital talents for the next 15 years," he concluded.
